@@mysoulsinsound9538 The 25th Anniversary of Jeff’s passing was on May 29th. This documentary was actually released two days after the 5th Anniversary of said event (May 31st).
@@MojoPin1983 Believe Me, May 29th Has Stuck With Me So I Do Know The Date. I Read The 5th Anniversary of His Passing (He Passed On May 29th 1997) But I Thought About It & Duh... That Was When The Video Was Actually Produced So It Was My Bad.
I went to high school with him. He was singing in the back of the bus and all of the kids went silent and Jeff got off the bus and we all watched him go. We were all stunned. He walked off like a god. We all knew we had heard something extraordinary. And what was the song? Sugar Sugar by The Archies. He made it sound like heaven
That's amazing! A private Jeff Buckley concert on a school bus 🚌 I can sort of imagine him breaking into a grand "... you are my candy, girrrrlll!" Lol
I always get Brad Pitt and Heath Ledger's respective fan boy statuses mixed up. Brad Pitt - - - > Jeff Buckley Heath Ledger - - - > Nick Drake Me personally I like them both. Also, I like them both, again-only this time I mean the actors. But the height of artistic expression at last, culminated the very instant Brad put that shirt on for the first time..
He was never not a real human..fuck off mojo like media..he went..blah blah!! like his 'Dad'.Tim was no dad..[Jimmy page is in the doc/Film.&,Brad P..whats your prob..!!❤4Jeff.B.
Sketches is some of my favorite works, if Jeff was here now, I think he would be happy people can love and appreciate his art even the art he couldn’t finish. His love is still in the music.
@@azotro Cute but not likely given Buckley wanted to completely redo 'My sweetheart'. Good artists are good for a reason, they have a vision, that vision takes work and multiple reiterations. It's their call when it's done, not an outside party.
I saw Jeff Buckley on 22nd June 1985 in the UK at the Junction, Cambridge. This was a warm up show ahead of his Glastonbury appearance. I remember how mesmerising he was as a person and as a musician. There was men and women openly crying as he played, never experienced that ever again in a gig. I am so lucky to have see him, iconic.
Glasto 1995, was the 25th anniversary year, the only time I've been to the festival,, and ever will. It was in my opinion, the greatest line-up of Glasto, period, and not least because Jeff Buckley played. Great memories.
I toured with him as his guitar tech and production manager/stage manager. To this day I miss him dearly. I've worked for a handful of bands. They were all very nice and close. I have been very fortunate. With Jeff, I love that person. Life ain't fair sometimes.
@randybiro9295 Hey, Randy. Yes, I know. You’re the one with the Soundgarden shirt in the Live in Chicago film. I actually tried to get in touch with you, about a year ago, as I was wondering whether you had any footage of Jeff.
My best friend tried getting me to listen to Jeff, and at the time i didn't want nothing to do with it, i remember 1 night i was sitting in my room amd downloaded the grace record and sat there and listened and i have been a fan ever since. Gone to soon
Grace is the only album I precisely remember where I was, what I was doing and who I was with the first time I heard it. I totally relate with what Brad Pitt's telling in this great documentary. I was with a bunch of friends for a dinner party, we were talking and joking around as usual. Suddenly I hear the intro of Mojo Pin flying in the air, I freezed out, asked my friend what is this music and ran in a quiet room to listen to the whole record alone. I was speechless for the rest of the evening and it changed me forever. I was lucky enough to see him live in Paris twice, and when he died, I cried like I lost a brother; Maybe the songs he never had time to compose are here somewhere, waiting to be made...
Will never forgot standing in front row, right in front of him as he performed at Queen's Hall in Edinburgh, Scotland in 95, with no barrier. The one gig I went to with my first girlfriend. Drugstore were great in support. Jeffrey was otherworldly.
my mother introduced me to jeff buckley when i was 13 and i've spent every second since loving him, like everyone. moved to edinburgh nine months ago to pursue my own dreams. reading this comment 15 minutes down the road from queen's hall and it's taking everything in me to not race out the front door and just stand at the gate, like he'll be there now.
I thought Jeff was the great hope for music when I heard 'Grace' in 1994. He stunned me. His death was a crushing blow. I still haven't forgotten the shock of reading the first report in the UK press. Thank you for uploading this superb documentary.
He Jeff.Made Such Wonderous Sounds.That you Felt 'Ah this is gonna be great..this shines thru.for me.like a familar.Thing/s.Your in good company..thats y his Work.will always be rembered.sweet sweet Person❤.Tragic end.😢
Thanks for posting this. As someone who knew Jeff a little bit in his nyc days, and saw him live locally every chance I got, his death was so painful and impactful, I couldn''t listen to his music for decades, nor watch docs like this. This one was so well done, it was a healing experience. I wish I could have seen it long ago.
I know that special sharp agony of losing a music friend, a creative cohort. Just wanted to tell you that and I’m so glad you’ve recently seen a little blue sky. It took me 20 years.
@@DoctorCobweb Two memories stick out. The first time I met and saw Jeff was the night he recorded live at sin-e. He came out, this slight guy in his white t-shirt and just started stomping on the floor and clapping and then the voice came in what I assumed was an old blues stomp (he wrote it). I wasn't ready for that. In that small space from ten feet away. I was mesmerized. Then he went into Lover and I saw his writing ability and voice control and range and I knew this was someone special. The other memory wasn't musical. One late night, standing outside, we saw a coach with two horses coming up the block. When it got in front of the cafe, it stopped. Sitting in the front seat, alone. holding the reins, wearing a cape and top hat was Sinead O'Conner, the cafe's namesake and friends with the owners. She just sat there, not moving, looking down, I have no idea for how long anymore. I think it was a few minutes. Then, just like that, she left. No one said a word, until she was gone. I always wondered where she went, and wished I knew what to say in that moment.
I was only one year old when Jeff passed away. I remember hearing Hallelujah on the radio growing up, and his voice always gave me goosebumps. I can't believe it's taken me until now, at the age of twenty-seven, to look into the rest of his music. I'm glad I did, however, because it feels like it has changed my life somehow.
Why record labels ignore the need of artists to recharge after a long tour and superstardom. Equally annoying is the underestimation of fans who will absolutely wait for a musician they love.
A major label deal is a devil’s bargain. For the label, it only works if sustained at a near impossible pace, or so they think. The more time that goes by out of the spotlight, the more discounted in dollar terms is their investment. I’m really impressed to see the rare patient label that knows it’s either the artist’s way or no way at all.
I saw him in concert in Belgium in the mid-Nineties and I remember being nailed to the ground and shaking my head thinking: do all these people realize how incredible this is?
Listening to the drummer reminiscing, I as a drummer and fan have to say that his music is the most passionate,real, painful, riveting and with such a feel and spontaneity that has never been recorded and then under rated... I live for moments with musicians like that, it is otherworldly and some of the greatest no bullshit music ever recorded. My humble opinion 😎🙄
The brightest light! He was truly special and the world has no idea what talent we lost! I have 3 sisters and coincidentally we all love JB, unbeknownst to us.
@@auss1eman I remember the show quite well. During the show the band started to play thrash music they we're amazing at the end of it a lady stands up and says "why do you play that rubbish Jeff". And Jeff says "Cause we dig it". And then played another thrash song. To me Jeff Buckley was a Bowie or a Prince, his voice was simply one of the best ever but musically next level.
@@PeterLaFontaine-h8b i think you may have been at the show that dave lory (jb's tour manager) said was them at their best . must have been incredible . please share any other fun memories you have of the show because that one was hilarious
@Marcos Cerqueira Unfortunately, I doubt that will happen. Jeff’s Estate explored that option, several years ago, and I believe it was cost prohibitive. Additionally, according to Jeff’s cousin, who helps run the Buckley Estate with Jeff’s mom, Mary Guibert, the footage isn’t very good, apparently (whatever that means).
That little snippet of what will you say looks very good even in this “semi-improved” version, so don’t quite get the footage isn’t very good, but that’s just frustration in me speaking :-)
I was there. It was a great concert but the crowd were pretty dead. Jeff told us to move around and "give security some shit" or something like that. He brought on Ben Watt from Everything But The Girl for one track. I want to say Eternal Life but I can't remember. It was almost 30 years ago now. The band were tight. Jeff sang really amazingly obviously but it was a daytime set on the mainstage and the crowd were a bit lethargic. Not everyone there seemed to really get what they were watching until he won them over after a few songs. That's my memory of the glasto set anyway.
I happened to be walking past the main stage at the start of his Glastonbury set. I didn't know who he was and had never heard of him, but I was stopped in my tracks and absolutely astonished. It was extraordinary.
Fun fact Jeff gave Chris Cornell a red phone he used to talk to him and Chris would take that phone all over the world with him when doing his solo gigs and it was on stage with him
Jeff's mom gave it to Chris. Chris brought it on stage every night on his higher truth tour in hopes that Jeff would call him on it. Chris told us about the phone during his concert.
One of If not the best documentary on Jeff yet! I became a fan right before Grace was released from a bad recording of a bill show and WOW! I left NYC in 96 with Grace in my Diskman and... Life changing.
Great story. Heard that album for the first time in 98 when I was 16, loved it ever since. Pity we didn't get to hear more from him. A bad loss for music.
I got rid of Grace and like The Replacements music it’s hard to listen to any of it because it was so impactful at a certain time of life. Good job on this documentary
Really appreciate you uploading this. This is such a well-made documentary. I first saw this on BBC back in the day when I was a teenager playing in bands. I and my friends were obsessed with him for a while. Was really cool being able to watch this again, this time in HD! I’m very glad something like this is around to memorialise him.
I recently became a father, and thinking about Jeff at that damn river, I realised "shit, I'm going to be worrying about my son for the rest of my time on this earth".
Muito tocante, todas as composições que eu vejo dele por aí e também por causa do diário dele dava pra' ver claramente o quão apaixonado ele era pelo o que fazia. Sinceramente, a escrita dele é o que mais me fascina!
Thanks for your help, again, Paul. I’d been wanting to upload a high quality version of the documentary, for years, and this was the most pristine one to become available.
@Umraan Syed Yes. This is a BBC documentary, originally released in 2002. You and I is a documentary that was released in 2016, which is specifically about the album of the same title.
@@MojoPin1983 that makes sense. I have the you and I vinyl so that makes sense. I’m watching the whole doc right now. Thanks for keeping me from bed lol.
@@MojoPin1983 just watched the whole thing. What an incredible doc. Were there any others made that are known? Also do you know what the progress on his biopic is?
@@umraansyed Yes, there are several other docs, namely, Jeff Buckley: Fall in Light (1999), Jeff Buckley: Goodbye and Hello (2000), Jeff Buckley: Amazing Grace (2004). Also, there is a mini-documentary: Jeff Buckley - Grace EPK (which was expanded and released re-released as part of the Legacy Edition of Grace in 2004. As for the biopic, it should be released sometime in 2023. Jeff’s mom is also currently producing a new documentary about him, which is expected to be released in 2024.
@@MojoPin1983 Unless you have better sources, Jeff's mom said last year on the two tape decks podcast that the doc is scheduled to be released around mid 22.
Ohhh... Those cool songs on the radio... On Maui, there are rarely any real DJ type radio hosts, anymore.. Never knew who the singer or band was.. Some hits for sure..
A tear falls from my eye and just stopped midway down my cheek as if to say smile, you have the music, it's a part of your soul forever and beyond. What an incredible legacy.
I've only been into him for about 10 years, I found out he was at Glasto when I was ( in 95/96? ) I missed him, I'd never heard of him at the time, one of the biggest fuck ups I ever did, gutted
I used to live alone before I knew ya And I've seen your flag on the marble arch And love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
I think if Jeff had been the lead singer of a band where everyone in the group had some input, he wouldn't struggled with the second album. The problem was, as a solo artist, Jeff called the shots, whereas in a group, it's often a team effort with one or two more creative participants. For instance, Morrissey and Marr of The Smiths (Jeff's favourite band).
I never cared much for his music, did I? But I partly relate to him. Not saying I know him. I just partly relate and I think I partly know what undid him.
@MojoPin1983 This is great! Is this the best doc on him would you say? And any recommendations on a good book about him? I saw him play Reading in the early 90’s was amazing. Could tell he was special immediately.
@Glenvill_e Yes, this is definitely the definitive documentary on Jeff Buckley. With respect to books, I’d recommend Dream Brother: The Lives & Music of Jeff & Tim Buckley by David Browne, as well as Jeff Buckley: From Hallelujah to the Last Goodbye by Dave Lory and Jim Irvin. Jeff’s Reading performance can be found on TH-cam. I believe that is where Henry Rollins - whose band performed that same day - was introduced to Jeff’s music. “No one can be that good and survive, when every lyric coming out of your mouth must be taking years off of your life.” - Henry Rollins on Jeff Buckley
@@MojoPin1983 thank you. I will definitely check those books out, and that’s a great quote from Rollins. You are running a great channel. All the best. 👍
at the end around the 58 minute mark the background music features a version of the 1995 dido´s lament from the meltdown festival. this version is much clearer than anywhere else, does anybody know if it has been released?
@erlendnordstrand9196 Not that I’m aware of. The BBC probably had access to the master tape, whereas the bootleg version might be a second or third generation copy.
That couch that Chrissie Hynde is sat on was given to Nina Antonia the writer - and when I lived with her she told me that Jeff had slept on that couch . Naturally I tried sleeping on it too 😆
Hey mate during the part where Jeff performed at St Ann’s, the audio recording seemed to be really HQ quality then the ones circulating on TH-cam. Was wondering if you happen to know where I can get the complete high quality recordings of the set.
@James Xu Are you referring to the Tim Buckley tribute concert? There are a few bootlegs of the that show, but I don’t currently have a copy. I know of someone people who do, however. If you message me privately, I might be able to grab it for you. flowersintime.org/show.php?gigid=2

And Jeff says "Cause we dig it". And then played another thrash song. To me Jeff Buckley was a Bowie or a Prince, his voice was simply one of the best ever but musically next level.
@@PeterLaFontaine-h8b i think you may have been at the show that dave lory (jb's tour manager) said was them at their best . must have been incredible . please share any other fun memories you have of the show because that one was hilarious
I love it! Jeff playing a CD. 19:33
Thanks Mojopin, still haven’t lost hope that Glastonbury concert will someday be released in high quality
@Marcos Cerqueira Unfortunately, I doubt that will happen. Jeff’s Estate explored that option, several years ago, and I believe it was cost prohibitive. Additionally, according to Jeff’s cousin, who helps run the Buckley Estate with Jeff’s mom, Mary Guibert, the footage isn’t very good, apparently (whatever that means).
That little snippet of what will you say looks very good even in this “semi-improved” version, so don’t quite get the footage isn’t very good, but that’s just frustration in me speaking :-)
There is a great recording of. Mojo pin but not the entire set
I was there. It was a great concert but the crowd were pretty dead. Jeff told us to move around and "give security some shit" or something like that. He brought on Ben Watt from Everything But The Girl for one track. I want to say Eternal Life but I can't remember. It was almost 30 years ago now. The band were tight. Jeff sang really amazingly obviously but it was a daytime set on the mainstage and the crowd were a bit lethargic. Not everyone there seemed to really get what they were watching until he won them over after a few songs. That's my memory of the glasto set anyway.
I happened to be walking past the main stage at the start of his Glastonbury set. I didn't know who he was and had never heard of him, but I was stopped in my tracks and absolutely astonished. It was extraordinary.
I remember watching this.... Over 20 years ago. Jesus time really does just slip by
thank you for putting this up. Miss him
Love this man
rest in peace jeff
soo happy that people like you exist and preserve his legacy!!! a lot of love to you, and thanks!!
@uzytnik Thanks. Lots of love to you, as well, and you’re welcome, regarding the videos.
Fun fact Jeff gave Chris Cornell a red phone he used to talk to him and Chris would take that phone all over the world with him when doing his solo gigs and it was on stage with him
Jeff didn’t give it to him…
Ok then 🙄
Jeff's mom gave it to Chris. Chris brought it on stage every night on his higher truth tour in hopes that Jeff would call him on it. Chris told us about the phone during his concert.
One of If not the best documentary on Jeff yet! I became a fan right before Grace was released from a bad recording of a bill show and WOW! I left NYC in 96 with Grace in my Diskman and... Life changing.
Great story. Heard that album for the first time in 98 when I was 16, loved it ever since. Pity we didn't get to hear more from him. A bad loss for music.
This is amazing. Thank you for sharing. It’s hard to describe how much Jeff’s music moves me. It hits at a very deep level.
I got rid of Grace and like The Replacements music it’s hard to listen to any of it because it was so impactful at a certain time of life. Good job on this documentary
this was good, well put together BBC
I appreciate the channel for responding to a lot of comments
@chunke monke tha trillsterr I appreciate your appreciation. God bless.
Really appreciate you uploading this. This is such a well-made documentary. I first saw this on BBC back in the day when I was a teenager playing in bands. I and my friends were obsessed with him for a while. Was really cool being able to watch this again, this time in HD! I’m very glad something like this is around to memorialise him.
@djedd23 You’re welcome, man. I echo your sentiments. God bless you and your friends.
i need this man so badly
I recently became a father, and thinking about Jeff at that damn river, I realised "shit, I'm going to be worrying about my son for the rest of my time on this earth".
THANK YOU!!
Thanks for this! First time i've come back to his music since he went away. What a soul.
Thank you for this birthday present (for yesterday
thanks this is fantastic ☽
Thank you!!
Thank you.
... and I miss him...
Thanks For This Upload ! 👍
Thank you!
Muito tocante, todas as composições que eu vejo dele por aí e também por causa do diário dele dava pra' ver claramente o quão apaixonado ele era pelo o que fazia. Sinceramente, a escrita dele é o que mais me fascina!
Like a masterclass in magic making.
A great documentary. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for your help, again, Paul. I’d been wanting to upload a high quality version of the documentary, for years, and this was the most pristine one to become available.
I called my daughter Grace. She loves it.
I love him more than anything or anyone. We met briefly... too briefly!~
@CynthiaDeMoss Where did you meet?
MojoPin1983, I was waiting for you to share some gem with us on the occasion of Jeff Buckley's death's 25th anniversary. Thank you!
@Ben Storme I was off by a couple of days but, hopefully this sufficed.
Love his version of back in nyc.
You're making a very precious job . Thanks for sharing this video and others.
Thank you for sharing this!
@shatki shake My pleasure.
R.I.P jeff buckley.
thank you very much.
I like how he messed with his dad’s second wife and friends by posing like him on the album cover😂
He didn't do it to upset her, it might have been an unconsious thing on his part to replicate the album cover.
@@DeepScreenAnalysisMaybe we'll never know
The same people who didn’t even recognise him as his son - yeah they deserve to be messed with
Wow I don’t think I’ve ever seen this before. Thank you so much. Is this different than the you and I documentary?
@Umraan Syed Yes. This is a BBC documentary, originally released in 2002. You and I is a documentary that was released in 2016, which is specifically about the album of the same title.
@@MojoPin1983 that makes sense. I have the you and I vinyl so that makes sense. I’m watching the whole doc right now. Thanks for keeping me from bed lol.
@@MojoPin1983 just watched the whole thing. What an incredible doc. Were there any others made that are known? Also do you know what the progress on his biopic is?
@@umraansyed Yes, there are several other docs, namely, Jeff Buckley: Fall in Light (1999), Jeff Buckley: Goodbye and Hello (2000), Jeff Buckley: Amazing Grace (2004). Also, there is a mini-documentary: Jeff Buckley - Grace EPK (which was expanded and released re-released as part of the Legacy Edition of Grace in 2004.
As for the biopic, it should be released sometime in 2023. Jeff’s mom is also currently producing a new documentary about him, which is expected to be released in 2024.
@@MojoPin1983 Unless you have better sources, Jeff's mom said last year on the two tape decks podcast that the doc is scheduled to be released around mid 22.
Ohhh... Those cool songs on the radio...
On Maui, there are rarely any real DJ type radio hosts, anymore..
Never knew who the singer or band was..
Some hits for sure..
Grace
Rolling Stones rank 147 greatest album all of time🎉
@ridwanhutauruk5452 Rolling Stone needs to drop the 4 and 7; then they’d be onto something.
A tear falls from my eye and just stopped midway down my cheek as if to say smile, you have the music, it's a part of your soul forever and beyond. What an incredible legacy.
Sin dudas una Obra sublime!!.....Uno de los mejores Discos de la Historia!!....es triste saber q nos perdimos mucha magia màs!!,,..MISTERIO!!!
un grande dalla voce meravigliosa- e particolare 🥰😘💙❤💋😢👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻🎇✨🎇✨🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I've only been into him for about 10 years, I found out he was at Glasto when I was ( in 95/96? ) I missed him, I'd never heard of him at the time, one of the biggest fuck ups I ever did, gutted
@spikeybaby1735 Yes, he played Glastonbury in 1995.
Jeff found another octive. Thank you , Robert Plant Thankyou Chris Cornell
*Octave*
I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
We have to give Leonard Cohen kudos for these lyrics. Another great man. Jeff's rendition is beautiful.
He reminds me of Nick Drake
I think if Jeff had been the lead singer of a band where everyone in the group had some input, he wouldn't struggled with the second album. The problem was, as a solo artist, Jeff called the shots, whereas in a group, it's often a team effort with one or two more creative participants. For instance, Morrissey and Marr of The Smiths (Jeff's favourite band).
TGA85 Good point. Jeff’s favourite band was Led Zeppelin, though.
Him and Michael were writing together here and there but it was mostly Jeff.
come to prague 🇨🇿😺
Hi Mojopin1983! I’m your brothers son Josh. Right now I am flossing to this music lol
Jeff Buckley será el unico amor platónico que he tenido en mi vida?
I never cared much for his music, did I? But I partly relate to him. Not saying I know him. I just partly relate and I think I partly know what undid him.
@MojoPin1983 This is great! Is this the best doc on him would you say? And any recommendations on a good book about him? I saw him play Reading in the early 90’s was amazing. Could tell he was special immediately.
@Glenvill_e Yes, this is definitely the definitive documentary on Jeff Buckley.
With respect to books, I’d recommend Dream Brother: The Lives & Music of Jeff & Tim Buckley by David Browne, as well as Jeff Buckley: From Hallelujah to the Last Goodbye by Dave Lory and Jim Irvin.
Jeff’s Reading performance can be found on TH-cam. I believe that is where Henry Rollins - whose band performed that same day - was introduced to Jeff’s music.
“No one can be that good and survive, when every lyric coming out of your mouth must be taking years off of your life.”
- Henry Rollins on Jeff Buckley
@@MojoPin1983 thank you. I will definitely check those books out, and that’s a great quote from Rollins. You are running a great channel. All the best. 👍
I love You sssssoooooo❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Al 9.00 l'ingegnere del suono con la sciarpa della Juventus.... Meraviglia
at the end around the 58 minute mark the background music features a version of the 1995 dido´s lament from the meltdown festival. this version is much clearer than anywhere else, does anybody know if it has been released?
@erlendnordstrand9196 Not that I’m aware of. The BBC probably had access to the master tape, whereas the bootleg version might be a second or third generation copy.
oh my goodness :((
37:54 yeah he abandoned me
oh well fair enough we don't wanna get into that
loved that awkward moment haha
That couch that Chrissie Hynde is sat on was given to Nina Antonia the writer - and when I lived with her she told me that Jeff had slept on that couch . Naturally I tried sleeping on it too 😆
❤
Hey mate during the part where Jeff performed at St Ann’s, the audio recording seemed to be really HQ quality then the ones circulating on TH-cam. Was wondering if you happen to know where I can get the complete high quality recordings of the set.
@James Xu Are you referring to the Tim Buckley tribute concert? There are a few bootlegs of the that show, but I don’t currently have a copy. I know of someone people who do, however. If you message me privately, I might be able to grab it for you.

What talented father and son, its almost like jrff was a clone of his dad
I have just found I got a badge from TH-cam music. It said that I am the top 0.5 percent listener in November of the album 'Grace'.
